ALLIANCE. OF LABOUR. WELLINGTON, Jan. (i. This resolution passed by the Exceu- , live of the New Zealand Alliance of Labour should settle all doubts as .to Hie attitude of that body towards the efforts now being made by the Seamen’s Unions:—"That this meeing of the Alliance of Labour, having noted that the Press has inferred on several occasions that the seamen had not the support of the organisation or or the Labour movement generally, declares unhesitatingly its full support of the seamen in their present dispute, and will, if called upon to do so, render all assistance in its power to the sea-

men’s organisation.’

UNION EXECUTIVE MEET. WELLINGTON, Jan. 8. The Executive 'Council of the Federated Seamen’s Union is again meeting in 'Wellington, and it i.s assumed negotiations may l ike place with the owners. If the union decides to approach the owners, it is thought it will ask preference to he given to members. This would have the effect of compelling non-unionists at present on the ship to join the union, and would get liver the difficulty created by the refusal of the companies to dispense with the services of nmn who came to their assistance when the trouble arose.
